Indiaâs National Security Adviser Brajesh Mishra, currently on an official visit to the United States, has proposed an anti-terror alliance between the US, Israel and India. âSuch an alliance would have the political will and moral authority to take bold decisions in extreme cases of terrorist provocation,â Mishra said in an address to the American Jewish Community in Washington on Friday. Mishra said preventive measures like blocking financial supplies, disrupting networks, sharing intelligence and simplifying intelligence procedures could only be effective through international cooperation. This is not the first time India has proposed such a triad, stressing that the three democracies were all targets of international terrorism. Mishra met Friday with US Secretary of State Colin Powell, a day after talks with his US counterpart Condoleezza Rice. Indian media reported Mishra had a 15-minute unscheduled meeting with US President George W. Bush when he went to the White House to meet Rice. PTI called the meeting âsubstantive.â
| Hmmm... When they say a meeting was "substantive," that means they agreed on something. Maybe even something ... uhhh... substantive. To me, it makes a natural alliance, so I'm all in favor... |
